✦ Synopsis
Photochemical cyclisation of methoxy-substituted g-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2ylmethyl)phthalimides and subsequent treatment of the photoproduct with aqueous acid leads to oxygenated ccmpounds with the protoberberine skeleton.

## Abstract Adducts of the quaternary protoberberine alkaloids (QPA) berberine, palmatine, and coptisine were prepared with nucleophiles derived from pyrrole, pyrazole, imidazole, and 1,2,4‐triazole. The products, 8‐substituted 7,8‐dihydroprotoberberines, were identified by mass spectrometry and 1D
The aromatic yohimboid indole alkaloid oxogambirtannine (9) was synthesized in high yield via the intramolecular [4 + 21 cycloaddition/dehydrogenation of the substituted B-carboline W, which was readily accessed by the reaction of 10 with the acid chloride 11 in the presence of the diene 12. In a si
